Ahmaud Arbery's story has been one of the saddest and most publicized of 2020. Arbery was going for a run in Georgia when all of a sudden, he was allegedly attacked by Travis and Gregory McMichael who shot him in the middle of the street. It is believed that the McMichaels mistook Arbery for a man who had been accused of home invasions in the area. As many already know, the footage of the murder was posted online and now, almost everyone has seen the gruesome event.
According to TMZ, the man who is responsible for the recording, William "Roddie" Bryan, has now been arrested and charged with criminal attempt to commit false imprisonment and felony murder. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation decided to charge Bryan as they believe he purposely tried to block Arbery with his vehicle as he tried to flee from the McMichaels.
It remains to be seen what will happen to Bryan although Arbery's family strongly believes that he was involved with their loved one's murder. This is one of the more high-profile cases we have seen in a while and we can imagine there will a lengthy and emotional trial ahead.
